Mjosa - do you know a vet who does this op in South Aust please?

I have a 12 week old puppy who has difficulty breathing - has anyone had a puppy with barcheycephalic syndrome - my vet think he may have an elongated palate.

Here is a link to articles written by Catherine O'Driscoll DVM, based on research conducted at Purdue. Purdue is a large university, where a lot of research is conducted, by people who regularly publish, such as Dr Glickman DVM et al. I suggest you read Dr O'Driscoll's article and the supporting research.

I can assure you that the evidence is not anecdotal, and it is being taken seriously by everyone, including vets world wide, who base their statements on research and who are open minded.

If you believe it is anecdotal, you either need new sources of information, or you need to do some research.

Numerous dogs die of this in Australia annually, yet their vets assure them that the dog died because of hereditary problems leading to a poor immune system, or "just bad luck". This information has been available for years, yet the nay sayers continue to rebuff it.

And that is detrimental to all dogs.

Agree - my 8 week old pup died within days of the first vaccination of C3
